This floral stamp from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set is just so pretty and stamps so clear. It seemed like the perfect option to go with this blue decorative paper from the Painted Illusions designer series paper from Stampin’ Up March Product of the Month. The small flowers match the flowers in the paper perfectly.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Misty Moonlight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Painted Illusions designer series paper (March 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
- 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
- Stampin’ Blends
- Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend
- Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend
- Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend
- Misty Moonlight ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 2 5/8” x 3 5/8”. With some white card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 2 ¾” x 3 ¾”, one to 1” x 3 5/8” and a last to ¾” x 3 5/8”. Take your Painted Illusions designer series paper pack and find the blue piece with the small flowers. Cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”.
Take your Misty Moonlight card base and adhere one of the white 4” x 5 ¼” pieces to the front. Then adhere the blue floral designer series paper piece. Adhere the 2 5/8” x 3 5/8” Misty Moonlight piece to the 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” piece of white and then adhere this to the center of the front of your card base.
With a scrap piece of white card stock and your Misty Moonlight ink stamp the large floral stamp from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set. Ink the grouping of 2 small flowers and ink and stamp just that on your scrap white as well. Use your Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends marker to color the small flowers. Color the flower centers in Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends marker and the leaves in Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends marker. Use a pair of scissors to cut out the design and your three small flowers (cut to three individual flowers).
On the white strip you cut to ¾” x 3 5/8” stamp the Happy Birthday greeting in Misty Moonlight ink. On the white strip measuring 1” x 3 5/8” stamp the stripes strip in Misty Moonlight almost to the bottom, leaving about 1/16” of white at the bottom. Adhere the Happy Birthday strip to the top of the stripes strip. Adhere this toward the front of your card base at the bottom of the rectangle. Then use pop dots to adhere the floral piece. Use the three small pink flowers you cut out to adhere around the edge of your Happy Birthday.
For the inside of your card adhere the last white pieces to the inside of your card base. At the bottom of the white pieces stamp the stripes at the bottom in Misty Moonlight. Then stamp the “Love you” and “friend” stamps together for form “Love you friend” greeting stamped toward the top of the inside of your card.
What a pretty, cheerful, birthday card for any friend.
